Krebs A2 flash hider


Recommended Posts

Saw a guy with an AR with no muzzle device at the range. I was surprised by how large the fireball was compared to my buddy's with an A2 hider. Having seen this I've decided that i definitely needed something on my saiga.

 

Has anyone tried Kreb's M16A2 Type Flash Suppressor on their saiga 223? Here's the link

It's right above the triggerplate and yes, i know i will need to thread my barrel.

I'd just go with a $10 A2 "birdcage" style flash hider. Everyone makes them. I think you can even find the Tapco versions for around $8 or something. You don't need and AK version, as you don't have a plunger with a stock Saiga. If you use an AR version (which have flat spots for tightening), you simply but it up against the Saiga shroud or use a "crush washer/bushing" if you need to time it (you'll need to do that ONLY if you use a version with solid bottom, not slots all around).

 

Forgot to add.. just make sure you match your threading with whichever FH you get.

I was looking at this one because it has a closed bottom. Should let me shoot prone without kicking up dust and it's 14x1lh thread so i should be good to go.

True.. if you're looking to do prone shooting, you'll probably want a closed bottom. In that case, it will have to be "timed" with either a crush washer or using a plunger (which will require significant work to a Saiga FSB, or swapping the entire FSB out for one with a plunger).

Lazy me will try crush washers first. Will let everyone know how it turns out once i get it on.
